Dependency Injection (Inversion of Control)

[normanb]

Hi,

I would like to use the JBoss micro kernel (MX) to do Inversion of Control for some external services so that we can configure them at run time. I appreciate that Spring can do this, however looking on the serverside.com I see lots of notes about JBoss being able to do this. Can anyone point me to a tutorial or an example of this with JBoss please.

Many thanks,

Norman Barker

Assuming you have a POJO, the way to load it and configure in JBoss is to wrap with an XMBean (so that it looks like an MBean, and load it as a jboss service (SAR).

To get you started, read the 2nd Chapter of the free Admin&Development guide, where you'll find a step-by-step example of developing a service:

http://docs.jboss.org/admin-devel/AdminDevelTOC.html

You may find also some XMBean related issues, in the JBoss Wiki:

If you have the time, check out the JMX MicroContainer webinar (look at the bottom of that page):
